Just a random thought, but man is it hard to choose a good NFL HC. You'd think getting a great coordinator to HC would work but it seems you have just as good a shot of flaming out as you do hitting a homerun. Norv Turner, Wade Phillips, Dom Capers, Romeo Crennel, Todd Haley, Charlie Weis, Mike Nolan, Steve Spagnuolo, Jack Del Rio...all really good coordinators, all failed as HC's (Weis in college but still).

Looking at this year's crop, the best coordinators that aren't failed HC's already are Chudzinkski, Zimmer, Jay Gruden, Dennis Allen, Darryl Horton, and maybe Rob Ryan. But you just never know how they'll pan out as HC's..just a big jump from coordinator to HC.

If we can't have him back, I'd love to see him go to Oakland and turn that unit into a great unit.

Just please. Don't go to the Eagles. Don't do that to me Spags. Please. Don't do that to me.

Just don't do that to me. Anywhere but Philly.

If he doesnt come here to Philly, I'd like him in Oakland also...that would be pretty cool to see.

I'm sure having Cam must have been a dream for an OC, but he was damn good at his job this year. But you and I have the same feelings. Any "offensive mind" is going to fail there if they get stuck with Gabbert.

He also only did it for one year though. The NFL is such a "flavor of week" club that one year is apparently all it takes for minds to change about you.

Jeff Fisher interviewing with Miami first thing tomorrow morning then heading to St. Louis to interview with them. Apparently he will listen to any and all offers before making a decision. Looking for best situation and not most money.

Still not entirely sure what makes him such a highly regarded HC candidate, was a consistently mediocre coach that never won it big...

Proven winner, built that titans team, very solid football teams, good personality, etc.

I'd be less pissed about Norv/AJ staying than about Caldwell staying though. Caldwell is a lifeless android who was exposed this year. It sucks when a player gets hurt, especially if that player is a future HoFer, but you have to adjust. And it took that Colts team 13 weeks to do anything.

I'd want a full blown fresh start in Indy.

At least in San Diego, the Chargers are the most talented overall team in an extremely weak division. The status quo isn't the worst thing.

He's only got a .538 winning percentage, never won a Super Bowl, only made the playoffs 5 times in 15 years as a head coach...I mean I understand what you are saying but very solid would be how to describe him. He's a "safe" hiring, sure, but isn't the goal to win a Super Bowl?

I'm with you. Has a non-SB winning HC ever been this highly regarded? His claim to fame seems to be that he was good enough to not get fired by the Titans in 15 years.

Kansas City is just as talented with a far better GM and Crennel is a better coach than Norv, so I don't think they're the favorite next year. They NEED to stop being so goddamn cheap by retaining AJ and Norv, they have got to go.

In the end, yes.

But if I'm Miami, I'd take someone just getting the team to the playoffs as a start. If not for one hiccup year with a resurgent Pennington and the wildcat, they'd be right up there on that list with Buffalo, Oakland and Cleveland as having a long playoff drought.

Eh. Debatable. It's not a huge difference if there is one, plus I'll always take the team with the franchise QB (Rivers) over the team that doesn't have one in a close comparison.
